A2600 > NES > Genesis > Saturn > N64 > Xbox > Ps2 > ps3 > ps4. Sadly i always traded in the old one for credit towards the new.
Would have loved SNES but friends all had one so it worked out pretty well.
Primarily PC game though. Have since my uncle showed me commander keen. My PC gaming career started with a Pentium 2 gateway PC. My first upgrade to it was adding in a voodoo2. Quake 2 looked so cool, the lighting really stuck out after adding the 3d card, which was my first real experience with mods in gaming too. I used to scribble down ip addresses of servers since there was no server browser (tangent but anyone remember Mplayer?). Played quake 1, doom, etc.. too but really quake 2 was my go to PC FPS until i discovered Starsiege Tribes. My one friend had an older brother who was into IT. He graduated HS around 2000. He used to set us up with DukeNukem3d over his lan at home which was always a blast.
RTS games really grabbed me. Warcraft, WC2, and Starcraft primarily but i played some C*C. Also warzone2100 popped into my head just now. Howitzers across the giant map? yes please.
Probably the most memorable and profound game was discovering Everquest, playing on 28.8 dialup was not very fun but it worked enough. That game though.. i put in almost 4 months play time in the 1st year i had it. I'm not too proud of that considering i could have stood to socialize more in HS, which is the period of my life that game was current in, but it is what it is.
Sorry for the off topic ramble there.
